Asexual
________: organism produces offspring virtually identical to itself.
Metabolism
________: all of the chemical reactions that occur inside your cells.
genetic material
Sexual: ________ from 2 individuals unites to form new third individual.
Producer autotroph
________: extract energy and nutrients from nonliving environment.
Producers
________ extract energy and nutrients from the nonliving environment.
Biosphere
________ (most complex): our planet earth- interactions between all ecosystems.
Homeostasis
________: state of internal constancy or equilibrium (things can happen that disrupt your ________)
Decomposers
________ are consumers that obtain nutrients from dead organisms and organic wastes.
Community
________: the interaction between all species in an area.
Consumer Heterotrophs
________: eat other organisms for nutrients.
Ecosystem
________: all of the living and nonliving interactions in an area.
Population
________: a collective group in a particular area of the same species.
Mitosis
________ (cell division) is occurring all the time in our body: mainly used for cell renewal and repair; constantly making new cells.
Consumers
________ obtain energy by eating other organisms.
Molecules
________: a combination of different atoms forming a larger structure- can be put together in a wide variety of complexities.
Atoms
________ (least complex): form the foundation- when they start interacting with each other they form the next level of organization.
Law of entropy
________: energy is constantly lost as it travels through the atoms and molecules that make us up; process of energy lost.
Cells
________: made up of thousands of organelles- not all ________ have the same composition of organelles- grouping of different organelles together to form that self sustaining unit that can reproduce.
Decomposer
________: obtain energy from wastes or dead organisms.
Cells
________ are the smallest unit of life that can function independently (if given the right environment)
Organelles
small structures that have a specific role of function in the cell
Tissues
different combinations of cells forms different types of tissues
Organs
different combinations of tissues
Organ system
combine organs to create an organ system
Organism
multiple organ systems working together to form a whole living unit
Population
a collective group in a particular area of the same species
Community
the interaction between all species in an area
Ecosystem
all of the living and nonliving interactions in an area
Metabolism
all of the chemical reactions that occur inside your cells
Law of entropy
energy is constantly lost as it travels through the atoms and molecules that make us up; process of energy lost
Producer/autotroph
extract energy and nutrients from nonliving environment
Consumer/Heterotrophs
eat other organisms for nutrients
Decomposer
obtain energy from wastes or dead organisms
Homeostasis
state of internal constancy or equilibrium (things can happen that disrupt your homeostasis)
Asexual
organism produces offspring virtually identical to itself
Sexual
genetic material from 2 individuals unites to form new third individual
Mitosis (cell division) is occurring all the time in our body
mainly used for cell renewal and repair; constantly making new cells
Recent issue of climate change
environments are changing so fast, species dont have time to adapt and survive -> causes ecosystems to collapse
